I'm generally not surprised by Scalia's terrible views and decisions. But this one . . . wow.

This is what happens when you substitute ideology for reason & common sense.
Edit: The reporters fucked it up? Damn, I hate it when that happens and I look like the fool.
Using his "originalist'' philosophy, Scalia said he likely would have dissented from the historic 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision that declared school segregation illegal and struck down the system of "separate but equal'' public schools. He said that decision, which overturned earlier precedent, was designed to provide an approach the majority liked better.
